Hello Marc,
I downloaded the book, Bag Of Bones (daisy), onto my computer and read the
book fine. Then, I downloaded the same book again, and renamed it with the
.bks2 extenssion.
I copied this into the import folder of my Icon. I then went to book shelf
and updated catalog.
I got a message saying "failed to import your bookshare books, enter your
bookshare ID or press cancel to return to bookshelf."
I entered my bookshare ID and password and pressed okay, and nothing
happened. I waited for a good 5 minutes. I pressed options and updated the
catalog again, and got the same message, but this time my bookshare ID and
password was there. I press okay again, and waited. I then checked recent
books and all books, but Bag Of Bones wasn't there. It is still in the
import folder.
Jan

All,
Just a little background on Bookshare, they generate the books on the fly
for each individual user when
you download them.
With the inccsistency we've seen, I.E., the same books work for some and not
for others, I'm beginning
to wonder if either:
1. The books coming out of Bookshare might be wrong for some users.
or
2. The Icon isn't handling something about books for certain users. Those
of you having problems, please
help us by trying some things.
1. Do the books you download on your PC work on your PC? I.E. can you
download "Bag of
Bones" on your PC and read it on your PC. Remember to download the DAISY
version.
2. Can you download the same book that fails on the Icon on your PC, rename
it to a bks2
extension, move it to the import folder on your Icon and open it
successfully?
Thanks for your help and patience with this.
Marc
